Us ko judaa hue bhii zamaanaa bahut huaa
Ab kyaa kahen ye qissaa puraanaa bahut huaa


Dhalatii na thii kisii bhii jatan se shab-e-firaaq
Ai marg-e-naagahaan teraa aanaa bahut huaa


Ham Khuld se nikal to gaye hain par ai Khudaa
Itane se vaaqaye kaa fasaanaa bahut huaa


Ab ham hain aur saare zamaane kii dushmaanii
Us se zaraa rabt barrhaanaa bahut huaa


Ab kyon na zindagii pe muhabbat ko vaar den
Is aashiqii men jaan se jaanaa bahut huaa


Ab tak to dil ka dil se taarruf na ho sakaa
Maanaa ki us se milanaa milaanaa bahut huaa


Kyaa kyaa na ham Kharaab hue hain magar ye dil
Ai yaad-e-yaar teraa Thikaanaa bahut huaa


kahataa thaa naasehon se mere muunh na aaiio
Phir kyaa thaa ek huu kaa bahaanaa bahut huaa


Lo phir tere labon pe usii bevafaa kaa zikr
ahmad 'Faraz' tujh se kahaa naa bahut huaa
